Chapter 1288 Time to Meet John Doe in Person!

The scorching sun hung high in the sky.

Africon Savannah baked in an unbearable heatwave.

Deep in the grassland…

“Buzz, buzz…”

Swarms of mosquitos and insects hummed around the ruins of the villa. They lingered around the corpses strewn all over the place, wantonly enjoying the feast — the blood that flowed into the ground had congealed under the scorching sun and the decayed corpses were starting to reek.

In the distance…

A figure, riding on the wind like a kite, zoomed over and abruptly stopped in the air before the villa.

Under closer scrutiny…

This person was in a hooded robe seemingly made of snakeskin. The patterns and scales on the robe gave off a chilly vibe even though it was under the sun.

His hooded robe covered his entire head.

Even the front side of this figure was dark.

Only his eyes held a glimmer of light.

This person…

He was none other than Lord Virtuous of Nirvana Organization!

“Ah…”

Hovering in midair, Lord Virtuous slowly turned around and carefully scanned the scattered corpses on the ground. He let out a light sigh, and his gaze fell back on the ruins.

“Hah.”

“I seem to have underestimated John Doe.”

With this…

Lord Virtuous raised his head and said in a slightly bitter voice, “It’s time I met you in person, John Doe!”

After that…

Lord Virtuous turned to leave.

The second he turned around, a blazing ray of sunlight shone upon the loose hoodie and lit up a young face!

Here…

Fang Qiu left the grassland with the laptop. Then, he went to a country that had not taken part in the battle for the relic and boarded the plane back to Huaxia.

On the plane…

“Great changes have taken place. It won’t be as easy as before.”

Fang Qiu’s brows furrowed.

He was well aware of this.

After this incident in Africo, the whole situation became different.

The Africo incident brought about changes to the situation in Africo, Zhongdong, Huaxia, and even the whole world.

The existence of Nirvana Organization shocked all the countries!

Right after the countries worldwide received the video from Huaxia…

They began investigating Nirvana Organization frantically. It was not a short-term investigation but something that entailed long-term planning. No matter what, they were determined to eradicate Nirvana Organization!

And in this case…

Fang Qiu, who shot this video, became a thorn in Nirvana Organization’s side. Also, Nirvana Organization hated Huaxia, as they were the ones who had sent this video to all the countries.

After the failure in Zhongdong, its Africo plan failed too.

Of course, Nirvana Organization wouldn’t take its defeat lying down.

Next…

They would carry out other plans. Under the investigation and surveillance of countries around the world, they would press ahead with their plans more meticulously!

Nirvana Organization had sent some people to hunt down John Doe in Africon Savannah, so it wouldn’t let him go in the following period.

Even then…

Due to their hatred for John Doe and Huaxia, Nirvana Organization would very likely cause a great disturbance in Huaxia Wulin.

A storm was brewing.

Then where would the rain come down?

John Doe, the central figure who caused this storm, was bound to be involved.

In the face of danger, Fang Qiu was fearless even if he was alone.

But…

He was not alone in this.

By living as Fang Qiu most of the time, he could avoid this storm, but the people around John Doe couldn’t.

Fang Qiu knew very well Nirvana Organization would continue with their frenzied wrecking activities.

He had just destroyed one of their strongholds and slaughtered thirteen gurus and dozens of eighth and ninth-class martial arts practitioners. So, how could Nirvana Organization let go of this?

He could avoid them, but He Gaoming and the others couldn’t!

“What can I do to help them improve their strength fast?”

Fang Qiu pondered hard over it.

From what he had seen…

Nirvana Organization had an excessive number of gurus.

If one stronghold had thirteen gurus, what about all the other strongholds?

How many strongholds did they have in total?

Three, five, or ten?

Or even more?

He couldn’t figure out the exact quantity, but he was sure it had many gurus. Even if those gurus achieved by shortcuts were weaker than authentic gurus, they were more capable than real Half-step Gurus.

This kind of strength was not mediocre.

Notably…

In addition to those gurus, Nirvana Organization had a few Venerables. All of them were genuine gurus far more powerful than those incompetent gurus.

It was unknown…

Did Nirvana Organization have members who were even greater than Venerables?

However hard he tried, Fang Qiu couldn’t find out how many gurus Nirvana Organization had.

In comparison, the current strength of He Gaoming and the others were too weak. Not to mention gurus, any ninth-class martial arts practitioner dispatched by Nirvana Organization could wipe them out!

To prevent this tragedy from happening, Fang Qiu had to find a way to help He Gaoming and the others quickly improve their strength. The more powerful they were, the safer they would be!

“I have to find a speedy solution to the problem.”

Fang Qiu sighed softly.

His force, composed of He Gaoming and the others, was an embryonic form of his power. It couldn’t be destroyed before they even achieved anything!

He thought long and hard about this.

Eventually, Fang Qiu came to his senses and glanced out of the window. Then he closed his eyes to recuperate and consolidate his cultivation.

This time, he managed to break through in the face of imminent danger.

With the Seven-storey Tower, he succeeded in making a breakthrough and became a recultivated guru. However, for Fang Qiu, it was a pity he did it in a hurry.

Under siege, he had no choice but to break through forcibly. Otherwise, he would have cultivated for a few more months and made the breakthrough when each cell in his body was fully prepared.

However…

Sometimes, events would take an unexpected turn.

Although the process was not perfect, it was an unforgettable experience for Fang Qiu.

This was the first time he had made a breakthrough in the water!

After that…

Fang Qiu had been fighting all the way until now. He did not have time to familiarize himself with his strength or to stabilize his realm in the first place.

It was rare for him to get such a peaceful night, and he would seize this chance.

Anyway, he had nothing else to do on the plane.

He could use this period to stabilize his new realm as a guru!

He shut his eyes.

Fang Qiu completely suppressed his aura.

By doing so, he could prevent himself from absorbing the Qi of Heaven and Earth. After all, the process might stir up the air currents and cause an accident.

Fortunately…

The energy of the Seven-storey Tower had not been fully assimilated, and some of the energy remained in his flesh, blood, and meridians.

He started running his internal Qi.

Fang Qiu started by trying to mobilize the remaining energy transformed by the Seven-storey Tower in his body. After he cleansed his body again, he absorbed all the energy and turned it into internal Qi.

He then began to stabilize his realm.

In fact…

For martial arts practitioners, enhancing their realms was not for them to comprehend what they would get after a breakthrough. Instead, it was meant to stabilize their foundation after breaking through.

Martial arts practitioners, Martial Superiors, and gurus, all had their foundations!

With the growth of strength, the cultivator’s foundation would expand, which required more effort to stabilize it.

What was a recultivated guru’s foundation?

It was the body!

Every inch of the body, such as the meridians, flesh and blood, and bones, was included.

This was the most significant change that Fang Qiu got after the breakthrough. To stabilize his foundation, he needed to get used to his body, strength, and the operation of his internal Qi after the breakthrough. He should learn to run his internal Qi as effortlessly as before the breakthrough!

Not only his body but his internal Qi had to adapt to the change brought about by the breakthrough. This process was the stabilization of the foundation!

“Hoot, hoot…”

He controlled his internal Qi and ran it speedily through his meridians.

It circulated for a few cycles inside his body.

After he familiarized himself with it, Fang Qiu lifted his control and let the internal Qi move independently inside him.

At this time…

He suddenly thought of the strange black substance in his body.

Upon a closer look…

He noticed the strange black substance had secretly grown bigger after this period. After he boiled the dark matter, only a hair-like strand was left. To his surprise, it was now as thick as his pinkie.

“I had fought too many battles.”

Fang Qiu still remembered it.

The faster and more violent the internal Qi ran, the more rapidly the black substance would absorb and grow.

In the past few days…

Fang Qiu had indeed been fighting all the time.

His battlefield almost covered the entire Africon Savannah and even extended to the rainforest.

In this case…

It would be strange if the black substance didn’t grow.

“When I broke through and became a guru, it should have grown to a bigger size, right?”

Fang Qiu muttered to himself while he observed the black substance.

Compared to a fight…

A breakthrough would speed up the internal Qi to the extreme. At that time, his Qi and blood had surged with incomparable vigor. It was simply a feasting time for this black substance.

No wonder the thread of back matter that had been as thin as a strand of hair, was now as thick as a little finger.

“The issue about the mutant Ebala virus has been solved, but this substance still exists.”

Fang Qiu thought of the conversation between Sixth Venerable and Eighth Venerable he overheard in the biological base.

The mutant Ebala virus was the last half of the Africo plan of Nirvana Organization, and the first half was this eerie black substance.

Notably…

Unlike the part with the mutant Ebala virus, Nirvana Organization successfully accomplished the first half of the plan.

Metahumans worldwide had been planted with this kind of black substance. Once this substance broke out, it would produce a result many times more terrifying than the mutant virus!

“This thing is rather like the Gu poison which comes from toxic worms, insects, or other animals known as the Gu.”

Fang Qiu murmured, “But Gu poison can’t split up and is not contagious.”

“I wonder how Li Ji’s research is going. If they can find a solution, it’ll be fine. But if not, it’ll be troublesome. According to the growth speed of this strange substance, I’m afraid it would erupt very soon.”

Fang Qiu was worried.

He thought of the pheasant he had used for his experiments.

The pheasant had been suc
